A spacious four-bedroom stone cottage set within a small, prestigious farmstead and offered with a self-contained one-bedroom annex and three acres of paddock. The main house combines original period features — exposed brick and beams, open fireplace — with modern family spaces including a large dual-aspect reception, open-plan kitchen/diner and a master suite with dressing room, ensuite and sauna. The separate annex has its own entrance, lounge, kitchen and shower room, ideal for multigenerational living or guest accommodation.
The grounds include gated off-road parking for three cars, a single detached garage, decked rear entertaining area and extensive paddock with animal shelter — well suited to equestrian use or smallholding. Location is convenient for commuters with quick access to the A19, A690 and local business parks, while nearby Rainton Meadows offers outdoor leisure. Newbottle and nearby schools (including an outstanding primary) serve families locally.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds are very slow, council tax is described as expensive and the property sits in an area of higher crime and local deprivation statistics compared with national averages. The cottage dates from the 1830s with timber-frame construction (assumed insulated) — periodic maintenance and sensitive upkeep of historic fabric should be expected. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, setting and conversion quality before purchase.
